Hello and welcome to my new instructable.in this instructable i will show you how to make a bright -light weight-cheap-small-rechargeable light.it is only consist of two small ultra bright LED's ,they can be found in small children torches.It is very easy to make.

What is LED?:

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode, which emits light when activated.[4] When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2) and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern.[5]

Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962,[6] the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared light. Infrared LEDs are still frequently used as transmitting elements in remote-control circuits, such as those in remote controls for a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first visible-light LEDs were also of low intensity, and limited to red. Modern LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.

Early LEDs were often used as indicator lamps for electronic devices, replacing small incandescent bulbs. They were soon packaged into numeric readouts in the form of seven-segment displays, and were commonly seen in digital clocks.

Recent developments in LEDs permit them to be used in environmental and task lighting. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size, and faster switching. Light-emitting diodes are now used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting, automotive headlamps, advertising, general lighting, traffic signals, camera flashes and even LED wallpaper. However, LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are still relatively expensive, and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output.

LEDs have allowed new text, video displays, and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology.

Step 1: Parts and Tools

1:2 X Leds

2: 3.7v Li-ion rechargeable battery

3: wires

4:Scissor

5:Charging Jack

6:PVC Tape

7:Enclosure

Step 2: Check the Leds

Before making be sure that your leds are working or not .

Step 3: Wiring Diagram

Step 4:

Tape all the wires joints so they cannot touch each other.

Step 5:

Tape all the things on to the enclosure.

Step 6: Ready

Its Ready :D .i hope you like my instructable please vote for me in the contest .
